+2 for the Sena 20s.

The wife and I have this systems integrated into our Shoei GT-Air full face helmets. It is fully integrated into the bikes bluetooth with the Sena Freewire. We love it.

The system allows....

1) Fully duplexed communication between rider and passenger.
2) Ability to utilize the bike's Boom Audio functions (radio, media, navigation, voice commands)
3) Ability to make and receive phone calls on either headset and share with the other rider.
4) Listen to the integrated FM radio on the 20s.
5) Set up communications with bluetooth headsets on other bikes.

The 20s is easy to operate while wearing gloves. (It takes some time and practice to learn how to use all of the features)

Good information on the 20's. Is there any truth or word on Sena offering a system for the HD Boom that does not require the Freewire?

I strapped a Braven BRV-X speaker to the top of my headlight. Can hear it at 70mph with a FF as long as the winds not blowing to strong.

Get a Sena bluetooth. This way no one else has to listen to your crappy music. haha! I'm only half joking though. I hate it when baggers pull up next to me blasting their music.

When I'm not wearing my full face with the Sena and I still want to listen to tunes or directions I have a Jabra Halo Smart bluetooth earbuds (see link). I also bought triple flange earbud tips (see other link) and replaced the original tips with them. The triple flange tips get in your ear and don't fall out. I can hear the music and directions crystal clear and that Jabra Halo Smart wraps around the back of my neck comfortably and doesn't go anywhere. Also, the controls to change songs, volume and power are right there on your neck. But the most important thing is that no one else has to hear my crappy music. lol

The Sena SMH5F has a FM radio built in.

Not a fan of the small turn signal-like speakers by the way.
I have tried exactly what you are looking to do. I purchased the UE mega boom then tried the larger JBL. Both worked ok at lower speeds but anything over 50 was so so and battery life was terrible due to the volume needing to be at 100%. For the price of the speakers it was not worth it to me so both were returned. I tried everything on my dyna wide glide to try and gets tunes and nothin really was satisfactory. Hope this helps.
